Thank you for this excellent video. I was able to repair my dishy using your technique. It was invaluable to see your images of the inside of other disassembled dishes. The only change for me was to cut the cable near the stem by pressing a small pair of side cutting pliers in past the grey shield next to the stem. That shield is actually somewhat flexible and can be bent a bit to give access to the cable.
I burned up the original conector on both sides, due to water ingress (no warranty, of course). Will try your fix to avoid having to buy an entire new Starlink kit. Just need to find out where to get this sealed RJ-45 and the crimping tool locally in Brazil (if anybody knows, please post). Great video with excellent explanation, keep coming the good work!
No Idea why they went with the proprietary cable. So many problems. I kept the proprietary ends and terminated them with RJ45 to allow the use of my own cables. It works, but I think I will follow this method and just eliminate their end on the dish side entirely. thank you for vids.
Nice work Oleg. Now let's work on a hack to replace the base SpaceX wifi router with just an ethernet plug. So that we may connect the system into an existing wired (Pfsense for example) home network.
You rock Oleg. Thanks for share. I've read your blog about aux ethernet, but I've got new design, there are no probe pin for aux eth. Is USB 24pin male connector bend-able become spx male. I think it is quete easier to have some "spx breakout board"
Oleg, vi seu tutorial na internet de como converter uma antena para 12v, fiz a conversão da minha e em um primeiro momento liguei em uma fonte 12v, porem com baixa corrente. A antena até ligou e foi avançando as etapas de conexão, porem em dado momento ela reiniciou e ficou na etapa "inicializando" (booting em ingles), tentei ligar em uma fonte mais potente como segunda tentativa e novamente avançou todas as etapas e depois voltou para "inicializando". Agora toda vez que tento ligar fica em "inicializando" e não sai disso. O que fazer? Atualmente estou usando um pack lifepo4 que fornece 12v e até 30a de corrente, acredito que energia não seja o problema. O que posso fazer pra resolver?
@@olegslab adicionei um capacitor de 2200uf, 25v conforme recomendado no blog. Percebo que com ele talvez tenha mais reinicios. Será que o meu capacitor pode estar com problema? Comprei um lote de 10 capacitores, todos da china, ja testei uns 3 diferentes, mas nunca sabemos a qualidade. Só se estiverem com problemas.
@@olegslab Instalei e tambem fica no estado inicializando. Não consigo te enviar o print com os detalhes por aqui, mas se tiver outro meio que possa te enviar. A starlink ate aceitou trocar o equipamento, mas como ja desmontei fica dificil.
There are different types. For example: www.amazon.com/pcs-RJ45-connector-waterproof-transmission/dp/B072FJZ4J9/ref=sr_1_1?crid=K2FA84NXFEKN&keywords=rj45+waterproof&qid=1697046460&sprefix=rj45+waterproof+%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1
Salut, j'ai un souci au niveau de bande passante Ethernet, après des fausses réparation du câble je ne peux plus avoir Gigabit, seulement 100M, pouvez vous m'aidez sil vous plait? merci
uSe CAT6 cable with ground wire. use 568B in both sides to crimp the cable. Is very important to Gigabit, use a 48V 30w or more POE injector. njust this.
Mate very good, buy you need to make sure you drill the hole in the centre. Your hole was way off centre. Next time measure the curved width with say, a flexible dress-makers tape measure, to find the centre and so do it more precisely instead of guessing!
You can see that the Elon team totally ignored the requirements for GbE with that spastic internal cable and PoS connectors. So did you, twists on conductors should be maintained as far as possible including upto the crimp.
@@ethanmccrory1727 Exactly what I was saying, a demonstration of not understanding standards and their needs. The service speeds can and do exceed 100Mbps and the negotiatied speeds of these devices is GbE, not FE. There is no inbetween bastard standards like there now for 2.5GbE and 5GbE in faster networks. You need all 8 strands of data running at the correct RF frequency (hint there for you all) as well as PoE.
